Chapter 97 Chu Tang’s Return

It's a new day.

"Is there still no news about Chu Tang?" Zhuo Lien has no idea how many times it has asked Fang Kai this.

Every morning, noon, afternoon, and evening, he would ask, hoping to hear good news from Fang Kai.

But Fang Kai still disappointed him and still shook his head blankly: "No."

Zhuo Lien sighed and said, "No news is considered good news."

He has said this several times, which is to inspire Fang Kai and comfort himself.

However, he said something very familiar but had no confidence, and maybe he wouldn't believe it himself.

Looking at Fang Kai who was lost in front of him, Zhuo Lien smiled bitterly.

Today, it has been more than ten days since Chu Tang disappeared.

In the past ten days, they have not given up searching. Not to mention that they have searched the city several times, they have even searched far outside the city.

Suburbs and nearby towns are within their search scope.

The results are the same: no trace of Chu Tang was found.

He seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without a trace.

After all, the four or five hundred constables in the county government must serve the entire Gui County. If the county town with a population of only 100,000 is in order to maintain stability and operation, they are short of manpower. It is impossible for them to go to find someone just by doing nothing every day.

Therefore, except for the first two or three days outside the city of Dasuo City, Zhuo Lien ordered the reduction of personnel in the next few days, and only a small group of people were to inquire about Chu Tang's news.

Fang Kai was very dissatisfied with this, but he also knew that Zhuo Lien's arrangement was not a problem, so he could only allocate some of his subordinates to Chu Tang's incomplete hands, searching for his whereabouts day and night.

Unfortunately, no good news comes every day.

They had to make the worst plan: Chu Tang was afraid that there was so much danger!

If something hadn't happened, how could a living person have no news for ten days?

Fang Kai was unwilling to believe such speculation. He had been dying for food these days and had been mostly haggard.

"Fang Kai, is there any evidence in the case of Xuan Tie theft?" Zhuo Lien saw Fang Kai's lonely and distracted from the topic.

Chu Tang was originally responsible for the Xuan Tie case, but wasn’t he missing? Captain Zhuo handed the case to Fang Kai.

First, let him do something so that he will not be imaginative.

Second, this case is very likely related to Chu Tang's disappearance. We will investigate it together and kill two birds with one stone.

In addition, the iron shops that were stolen from the black iron are decades old brands after all, and they have a lot of energy in the county town. Not to mention their hands and feet, they are at least related to them.

Look, the case was a big deal, and even the county magistrates involved in this matter.

Zhuo Lien deeply felt that the responsibility was heavy and could not be perfunctory.

Chu Tang's powerful skills made him feel unaware of his life and death. He probably didn't have much hope to hand over this case to others. He could only hand it over to Fang Kai, who is also a warrior in the fourth realm.

Zhuo Lien hated that he was seriously injured and unable to do things.

"Nothing is wrong!" Fang Kai said impatiently, "The thief is very skilled in martial arts. Either no one notices it, or kills and injures people with one move. The stolen iron shops cannot react. They come and go without a trace, and there is no clue left at all. What can I do?"

Zhuo Lien's voice was low and he asked, "Where is the person who looks like a ziyiwei who reported to Zhou Xiang to stay in the inn? There is no clue?"

Fang Kai glanced at him, shook his head and said, "The inn's mate said that the other party had checked out overnight, and I don't know where he went. I think he was like Chu... and Chu Tang, leaving the city!"

Zhuo Lien pondered and said, "That means, he is also with Chu Tang..."

"Catcher! Head Fang Ban! Head Fang Ban! Head Fang Ban!" Zhuo Lien was interrupted by a man who rushed in.

He looked excited and shouted.

Zhuo Lien's face darkened and he shouted: "Zhou Xiang, why are you yelling around? What a moral character!"

This is Zhuo Lien's office, which is often used to meet with the shift head or constable.

But he has always been serious. He has developed a majestic appearance for more than ten years of head-catching career. No one dares to break in without notice.

He has become familiar with the person he comes these days, and it is Zhou Xiang from his class.

This person was the last constable Chu Tang met before he disappeared, and he found clues about the City God Temple and the Inn Monkey Guard.

In Zhuo Lien's view, Chu Tang's disappearance has a lot to do with him.

Although it was not his fault, in order to vent his anger in his heart, Zhuo Lien regarded Zhou Xiang as a cow and a horse envoy these days, allowing him to run out every day to find Chu Tang's whereabouts.

Facing Zhuo Lien's angry expression, Zhou Xiang hurriedly said, "Captain! Chu Tang is back!"

"What?"

"real?"

Zhuo Lien and Fang Kai spoke one after another and stood up at the same time.

"I'm really back?" Zhuo Lien asked again with wide eyes.

Fang Kai asked tremblingly: "Is all the people back?"

Zhou Xiang quickly said, "It's true, he came back by himself. When I saw him outside, I rushed back to report the news!"

Zhuo Lien was calm, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. His heart strings, which had been nervous for ten days, felt relieved. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back."

Fang Kai was even more excited to grab Zhou Xiang's shoulder, pinching the latter to make him feel pain and sweat.

"Where is he now?" Fang Kai asked loudly.

Zhou Xiang replied: "We met not far from outside the yamen. I ran back. I guess he has arrived at the gate of the yamen now."

"Let's go! Let's pick him up!" Fang Kai pulled Zhou Xiang and was about to go out.

Just as Fang Kai took two steps, a voice came from outside the door: "No, I've arrived!"

Before he finished speaking, the three of them felt their eyes blurred and a figure fell into the room.

Who else is not Chu Tang?

He smiled and bowed to Zhuo Lien and Fang Kai, saying, "Catch the boss, Fang Banting!"

"Chu Tang!" Fang Kai's eyes turned red, his lips trembled, and his voice trembled, "You... are finally back, I thought you...you, it's fine, it's fine!"

Zhuo Lien pursed his lips tightly, without saying a word, staring at Chu Tang tightly.

At this time, Chu Tang had already changed into a new set of regular clothes, which was clean and comfortable, less monotonous as the detectives made clothes, and more chic.

With his tall figure and bronzed "ordinary" face, he looks like a young man in the world!

"It's fine!" Zhuo Lien also said the same thing as Fang Kai said, but the meaning was not very similar.

Fang Kai was more excited to see Chu Tang coming back alive, while Zhuo Lien was sure that Chu Tang had both hands and feet and was not injured.

Chu Tang said thanking the two adults for their hard work and worrying, and asked them to forgive me.

The three of them exchanged greetings for a while.

At the end, Zhou Xiang cried and said, "Tao Chu Ban, I miss you so much! I thought it was my random news that caused you to disappear!"

"The news came from randomly?" Chu Tang was puzzled, "Did you ask Lai Liu to deal with me?"

Zhou Xiang blushed and said, "He...he has a lot of rumors, but many of them cannot be verified!"

Chu Tang smiled and shook his head and said, "You are wronged by him. What he got this time is really not rumor, it is true!"

When the three of them heard this, they were all shocked.

Zhuo Lien even looked up suddenly, looked directly at Chu Tang, and asked, "Chu Tang, have you gone to chase the clues of the inn, or have you checked the Chenghuang Temple?"

Chu Tang was about to speak when he saw Zhou Xiang looking curious, and he couldn't help but apologize: "Brother Zhou, can you please avoid it for a while? I have to ask the headmaster to consider some things. The more you know, the more unfavorable it will be for you."

Zhou Xiang was stunned, but he didn't expect Chu Tang to say so directly.

Chu Tang looked at him embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Zhuo Lien said in a deep voice: "Zhou Xiang, Chu Tang does not trust you, but feels that your participation is in danger of life. You have also seen that Chu Tang, the four-level warriors, have disappeared for ten days because of this matter, and they have not known life or death, and have been lucky enough to return. You are only in the second level of cultivation, so are you sure you want to get involved?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean." Chu Tang quickly added, looking at Zhuo Lien who explained to him with gratitude.

Captain Zhuo is worthy of being a master of human nature and speaking thoughtfully, and has found a very good and powerful reason for Chu Tang.

When Zhou Xiang thought that the three people in front of him were all four-level cultivation, he was only the second level, so he couldn't help but wake up and said, "Captain, Fang Banzhu, you know that Zhou has always been afraid of death. It's okay to fight, but I still don't touch the matter of losing my life. You are busy, I will go out now. No need to give it to me! Goodbye!"

As he said that, he really walked out and left far away.

There were only three people left in the room.

Zhuo Lien asked the two of them to sit down, then stared at Chu Tang, and asked seriously: "Chu Tang, where have you been in these ten days? What happened?"

"Yes! Tell me quickly! What's going on?" Fang Kai also urged impatiently.

Chu Tang looked back and forth at the two of them and said slowly: "Sir, the head captain, Fang Banzhu, this matter is a long story. Just listen to me and tell me slowly."

"Hurry up, are you going to be anxious about me?" Fang Kai became even more anxious.

Chu Tang said, "Actually, I returned to the city last night."

"What? I came back last night?" Fang Kaidi stood up and glared at Chu Tang, "I entered the city last night. If you don't come to us, let's worry more for a night! You..."
